It is. Safari is all white (instead if blue), and the keyboard is also much lighter. The same is true for Mail, Settings, Music and Phone. Folders are all white too, and the "dock" is much lighter. And don't get me started on

When we talk about fragmentation (as developers), we mean API/display size fragmentation. My iPhone 4 doesn't have Siri, but developers can safely use iOS 6 APIs, knowing I can upgrade. THe iPhone 5 and the 4" display was a s

Yes, this is what I've been dreaming of for maybe a couple of years... I like HN's simple look and feel - my custom CSS would be just a couple of lines to make the damn text bigger on iPhone.
